Helicon Focus - User Guide

Helicon Focus is the industry-standard software for focus stacking. Whether you are a macro photographer battling the shallow depth of field of a 5:1 lens, a jeweler capturing a diamond’s intricate facets, or a museum curator digitizing historical artifacts, Helicon Focus is the tool that turns a series of partial-sharpness images into a single, pin-sharp masterpiece.

Helicon Focus aligns these frames (compensating for camera shift) and extracts the sharpest pixels from each layer to construct a composite. Download: Visit the official HeliconSoft website. Licensing: Helicon Focus offers a 30-day free trial (fully functional). After that, you need a license (Lite, Pro, or Premium). The Premium license includes Helicon Remote. helicon focus user guide
